Maybe you haven’t watched enough videos then. A lot of her tips are fantastic. I was required to take a class in high school called “jobs for graduates” where they teach you a lot of these things. It’s a national organization, and the things they teach are widely accepted as extremely helpful. Just like this lady here.
Interviewer: "Why do you wanna work here?" Me: "Money" Erin, whispering: "Pssst. Don't focus on the "why" focus on the "here"!" Me, whispering back: "Ok, thanks!" Me, at the Interviewer: "This place is offering the most money." Interviewer: "Out."
During my last interview, they started by making sure I could work nights. I said no. As we were about to wrap things up, the manager asked me if I were comfortable answering a couple of questions about my current position, including my wage, as they were entering the market in my country. I was cool about it and answered it honestly. He said they were offering double that, to which I answered I'd gladly work nights for that pay. Long story short, I got the job. I was honest, the hiring manager was honest, it worked. Not every interview is the same.
I hate the fakeness of job interviews 😂 like I know that you know and you know that I know that the answer is money and that I'm not passionate about Wal-Mart but for some reason we have to play by this stupid little code and pretend like that's not the truth Edit: Since people are GOING OFF in the replies, I'm talking about when you're forced to interview for a job that is not your dream job in order to survive. I'm being painted as shallow here for some reason, but yes I have a degree that I'm passionate about. People are acting like money isn't the thing that pays for your bills, food, etc. and as if it's a choice to work and as if I have all these options around me to be super selective in where I work. You don't know where I live, what my degree is in, and what the market is like for my field of study. If you can find passion in customer service, good on you, but if the only jobs in your field are further away than you can afford to move right now and you need to make money to live in the meantime, you are allowed to take what job you can get and not be passionate about it. It's unrealistic to expect everyone interviewing for Chipotle to be like "I'm a big foodie, I love preparing for for people, Chipotle is the best restaurant in the world, I'm so passionate about this business, and I love interacting with customers all day". It's perfectly reasonable to work there because you need a job and your dream job isn't feasible right now.
I know. It honestly ruins my day having to do interviews because you have to pretend your perfect. Any inkling you give them that you aren’t perfect and they aren’t interested. Like can we just have a normal conversation please ☠️
Id call it gatekeeping to have a standard. Imagine you ask your coworker teammate to do one part of the project. But they lack any passion for the project. Says "ughhh if it wasnt for the money, I would not be here". Everyone knows everyone would rather have margaritas on the beach than be at work. But if you are at work, have the stability and personal drive to smile and be engaged, not all "uh, idk, i dont care, whatevs, as long as it works, im here for the money" attitude. The standard for any interviewer giving a thumbs up for a candidate or recommending for a role is "would I want to work with them on a project?" In addition to whether their background meets the requirements.
You have to be wanting to work for more than just money. Passion has to be involved somewhere in there. Supposedly you got your degree. I would hope you didn’t spend a crap ton of money for something you aren’t actually passionate about. Be passionate about what your doing. Same goes for fast food btw. When I have a cashier that looks annoyed the last thing I want to do is order from them
Answers like that are why this is basically the only important question in the interview If someone told me that when I used to hire people I'd respond with something like You've applied for a front end position the only skill we are likely to teach you there is making coffee and we do send our baristas away for courses however if your looking for a long term job I can offer you a job as an apprentice chef if that's a career path you'd like to pursue if that's not for you we may not be the right fit
Maybe management should stop asking that question because everyone would love to not work for money and do so for personal fulfillment. If working was optional Chipotle would have 0 staff. The answer is always money
@@user-K8T I didn’t say working shouldn’t be a thing. I said people would only do fulfilling work if money wasn’t an object. Building safety based careers pay exceptionally well and is respected. Chipotle doesn’t and isn’t.
@@alize0623 honestly, anything can be soul sucking if you aren't into it. I've had well respected jobs that just were just not it. And my number to stay was far higher than anything they'd ever consider paying me because they were cheap af. Honestly, I would have probably found Chipotle more fulfilling. At least some people would be happy to get my product rather than frustrated because I'm doing my job. But Chipotle won't pay the bills, soooo... And, now, neither would that job, honestly, with the garbage raises they gave. Just because you see something as well respected, doesn't mean it's fulfilling. And the safety people are not generally the ones who are appreciated in any project.
They just want to know if you are going to get bored by talking to people all day. Which happens for many people. We all work for money, but also have things that we prefer to do. Listen to the short again.
@@arakwar it’s a dumb question. I love working with and talking to people. I wouldn’t apply to chipotle if I didn’t need money. You watch the video again and reread what I said; because you missed the point of both
Yeah maybe u have to understand the thing that companies exist not to hire everyone. They try to look for people who would love to work here or at least wouldn't hate the job so much he leaves in a month.
@@BenRangel bro I dont think even the CEO of the company is interested in the brand and the industry, the company itself is interested in MONEY, that's literally why they exist, they're a business, and business want to make a profit however they can lmfao
@@s4vetheworldBut both the interviewer and the interviewee know that the interviewee is lying straight out of their ass so they can land a job and pay their rent, so what’s the point?
I once told a job that I like acquiring useless knowledge and that's why I wanted to work there. The smile instantly leg their face and they cut the interview short lmao
I used to hire people and that was always a great answer because I know that this job has something you really appreciate about it vs other jobs now I know when my competitor a few miles away that you probably also applied to and offers the same money you won't take his job because our job is better suited to what you like
Remember the interview to my current job - came, was asked if I fulfill the education requirements, which I did. Then my boss basically went "this is the salary for the position, these are the hours, this is the training you will go through. Does that work for you?" (Government job, but still) If I were to ever start a business this would be how I would conduct the interviews, people find a job to make money, anything else is irrelevant to the employer
I’ve never actually wanted to work at any place I interviewed at - I just needed a job so badly that I applied EVERYWHERE that I saw a sign. And companies know that people are desperate.
That's a good one. I did answer with 'money' on my 2nd job's interview. I got the 'we are like family' talk and i think you can guess how it was. I worked with that GM for maybe 6 months before she was gone and maybe 3 or 4 others after her until i quit about 3 years later.

The main thing is you want longevity In your career and this job gives you that. It always has room for progression and that’s what you want to be able to grow and progress that’s all I say. I do recruitment so I learn the sales tricks over the years
I hate interviews for one reason, NO SHIT WE'RE THERE FOR THE MONEY. THATS THE ONLY REASON TO GET A JOB (unless you're also doing it because its your dream job)
THANK YOU! I will hopefully be getting an interview for my first job and this interview question has been puzzling me. NOW it makes sense.

@@The_Yukki I understand, being passionate is easier for creative jobs like a journalist or designer than a fast food worker. But doesn't have to be over the top - you can just say you like their food and would prefer working in the food industry rather than at a factory - or whatever
All jobs pay money so it doesnt make sense as an answer to why you are there when you could be anywhere else and also get money If you're answer is you pay more than elsewhere that's a good answer but just money is shit
as an HR professional i would never progress a candidate who says this. too risky when there are more talented folks out there with a real interest in the business. you're showing your ass if you do this
@@nottheone582are you not paying attention to the type of job? You can spin that about journalism or law or design but having this attitude hiring for fast food work and people are just trying to put food on the table, nobody's gonna be passionate about the art of cashiering.
My dad always tells us this story from when he was young and his mom wanted him to get a job. So she signed him up for a job interview at some fast food place, and when they asked him the, why do you wanna work here question, he just said “I don’t know, i need money and my mom told me to come, needless to say, he didn’t get that job
I left a minimum wage retail job to interview for a grocery store my friend worked at because she told me the pay was $12.50/hr (back in 2017). When the interviewer asked why I wanted to work there I just said my friend told me it's a great place to work. But it was really about the money.
when i applied for my first job (at an ice cream place after freshman year) and the owner asked me this, i was sneaky about it lol. first i said that i wanted the experience and then i said “now that i’m in high school, it would be nice to have my own income.” the owner was pretty understanding about it; this place was pretty common for first jobs so i’m sure he heard that kind of answer a lot
When my interviewer asked that question I focused on my connection to the company. I went there all the time as a kid for cleats and soccer balls and basketballs. I just said that and I wanted to give back to a place that gave me that much. If you can bring up an emotional connection to the place do it.
I usually just ignore the Shorts advice type videos but WOW that’s actually so helpful. I have a lot of trouble with questions like these and that helps me out a ton.
In the beginning I was already rolling my eys but by the end, this is actually a very sound advice! Not just for interviews, but also to be introspective of why you're choosing this job. Thank you!
The reason why I want to work here is I can see myself growing professionally in this position, I enjoy chipotle, talking to other people and have the menu memorized. I admire the work the staff provide and I know my background in customer service has prepared me for this role. I look forward to becoming a valued member of the team.
My daughter applied at my friend's bakery. When asked that question, he told me that she said, "because you guys pay a lot and my mom told me to." 🤦🏽♀️ I told her when they ask that question, make them feel good about where they work. The next place she applied to, Starbucks, hired her.
"So why do you want to work here?" Stunted me when I first started learning about job interviews in my eighth grade speech class. It's easy to answer when you're applying for your dream job or at least a job that you studied in college to actually do, but for a job in retail or at a fast food restaurant that you're just getting at 16 to make a few bucks, it's harder to answer without sounding like you're full of shit.
How is retail hard you can give the same answer to every retail store you apply to It's easy to travel to Flexibility around xxx responsibility I want to work with customers I want a job with room to move up I like this store I shop here all the time I want a job with reliable hours My friend recommended here I'm interested in xxx merchandise I really just wanted to staff discount You pay $2ph more than other shops I'm used to this type of work There a thousand reasons and you only need to rationalise one of them that actually works for you
@@scottb9997 Almost every one of those answers is a lie or exaggerated, except a few. In my case I hate dealing with people, so I don't apply to jobs that require any type of customer interaction or social atmosphere. I like physical labor...I actually DO like it. So when they ask me the question it's easy for me.
yes ! when applying to a local grocery store, which is pretty big in size, I mentioned that I know the layout and that I shop there personally, I definitely think it helped as I got a special offer! always personalize answers.
Chipotle works it’s majority minor staff like animals lol, they also been caught a few time breaking child labor laws. It happened regularly at the one I worked at for like 3 months, a 16 year old worked like 45 hours a week
I’m lucky my current manager is so understanding about the need for money. When applying, I asked for a higher hourly rate than I thought he’d offer, because he’d try matching in the middle to keep me. He asked me why I requested a higher pay than what my experience shows, and I told him that exact thing. He said, and I quote “that’s actually really smart, welcome to the team.”
At my Job interview I said that I am the most honest person you ever met. I am here for money, If I was a Millionaire I wouldn’t apply. I still got the Job
@Abdul-Kabir Alegbe If your objective in a job interview is to get hired above all else, you're doing it wrong. My objective in a job interview is to get hired somewhere I might enjoy working. If being myself in an interview stops me from getting the job, that employer isn't someone for whom I want to work.
@@SylviusTheMad We're on the same page when it comes to job satisfaction. I was just making a point that job satisfaction is the exception rather than the rule. In other words, most people are not where they want to be.
Guy once asked me why i was looking for work...I actually answered; "i got bills to pay" once. Guy asked me if that's the only reason i wanted to work there. I told him that's not the same thing. I wanted to work there because i had heard they payed more then other companies. So he asked is it all about the money then? I answered it's the only reason most people work in the first place. If you got the same amount of money if you did or didn't show up. Would you still come in every day?, or do you have plenty of other things to do you would rather spend your time on? He looked at me, shrugged and said fair enough. Then asked me why he should hire me. Told him I'm good at my job. Always on time. And get things done. My resume will speak for itself. Hired me on the spot.
the “the chipotle employees always seemed pretty happy” is making me lose it 😂😂 chipotle is a miserable experience you’re understaffed underpaid and over worked

“why do you want to work HERE instead of mowing lawns?” cuz it was hiring?

My dad always tells us this story from when he was young and his mom wanted him to get a job. So she signed him up for a job interview at some fast food place, and when they asked him the, why do you wanna work here question, he just said “I don’t know, i need money and my mom told me to come, needless to say, he didn’t get that job
I left a minimum wage retail job to interview for a grocery store my friend worked at because she told me the pay was $12.50/hr (back in 2017). When the interviewer asked why I wanted to work there I just said my friend told me it's a great place to work. But it was really about the money.
nah bro ppl love honest ppl
when i applied for my first job (at an ice cream place after freshman year) and the owner asked me this, i was sneaky about it lol. first i said that i wanted the experience and then i said “now that i’m in high school, it would be nice to have my own income.” the owner was pretty understanding about it; this place was pretty common for first jobs so i’m sure he heard that kind of answer a lot
This is literally soooo much more helpful than any tips I’ve gotten
When my interviewer asked that question I focused on my connection to the company. I went there all the time as a kid for cleats and soccer balls and basketballs. I just said that and I wanted to give back to a place that gave me that
much. If you can bring up an emotional connection to the place do it.
that "Whaat?" expression was awesome!!
I usually just ignore the Shorts advice type videos but WOW that’s actually so helpful. I have a lot of trouble with questions like these and that helps me out a ton.
Don’t let them fool you: it’s always money, you just have to lie.
No you are just confusing why do you need a job for why this job
It's not the same question
As someone who worked in hiring.
"I need a job and you're paying what I'm looking for" was definitely a better answer than the people blowing smoke.
"I have a better question, why are you ALWAYS hiring?"
In the beginning I was already rolling my eys but by the end, this is actually a very sound advice!
Not just for interviews, but also to be introspective of why you're choosing this job.
Thank you!
I'M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS CHANNEL BEFORE I NEEDED A JOB. I'm still a student but surely I apply for a part-time job one dayy. LIFE SAVER!
I actually have 30 minutes until I have an interview and was scrolling through shorts and this is very helpful atm
You are great Erin!!!
The reason why I want to work here is I can see myself growing professionally in this position, I enjoy chipotle, talking to other people and have the menu memorized. I admire the work the staff provide and I know my background in customer service has prepared me for this role. I look forward to becoming a valued member of the team.
My daughter applied at my friend's bakery. When asked that question, he told me that she said, "because you guys pay a lot and my mom told me to." 🤦🏽♀️ I told her when they ask that question, make them feel good about where they work. The next place she applied to, Starbucks, hired her.
"So why do you want to work here?" Stunted me when I first started learning about job interviews in my eighth grade speech class. It's easy to answer when you're applying for your dream job or at least a job that you studied in college to actually do, but for a job in retail or at a fast food restaurant that you're just getting at 16 to make a few bucks, it's harder to answer without sounding like you're full of shit.
How is retail hard you can give the same answer to every retail store you apply to
It's easy to travel to
Flexibility around xxx responsibility
I want to work with customers
I want a job with room to move up
I like this store I shop here all the time
I want a job with reliable hours
My friend recommended here
I'm interested in xxx merchandise
I really just wanted to staff discount
You pay $2ph more than other shops
I'm used to this type of work
There a thousand reasons and you only need to rationalise one of them that actually works for you
@@scottb9997 Almost every one of those answers is a lie or exaggerated, except a few. In my case I hate dealing with people, so I don't apply to jobs that require any type of customer interaction or social atmosphere. I like physical labor...I actually DO like it. So when they ask me the question it's easy for me.
This is soooo helpful for me because I struggle with this question so much like idk I need that paper yk 😂😂
yes ! when applying to a local grocery store, which is pretty big in size, I mentioned that I know the layout and that I shop there personally, I definitely think it helped as I got a special offer! always personalize answers.
that's such a great tip, just by looking at it a different way! thanks :)
And thats how to get free tacos😅😅😅
Lol modern day job interviews are a joke, I’m so unimpressed by the people conducting the interview that I just match the same energy.
Chipotle works it’s majority minor staff like animals lol, they also been caught a few time breaking child labor laws. It happened regularly at the one I worked at for like 3 months, a 16 year old worked like 45 hours a week
This is so helpful
"Why do you want to work here?"
Well, you see, you're hiring.
This is actually really helpful tf 😭😭
That is very smart and I would never just say 'Money'
Erin’s in it for the tacos 😂😂😂
ok that's actually very helpful to me, because when I hear the question, my first thought is always this. :P
Tysm this helps for future ❤️
Meanwhile my current employer straight up told me “if it’s because of money it’s okay you can just say that”
You: Thanks Erin! I'm gonna give you a ton of free tacos!
Interviewer: what?
once I legit answered "money", and got the job
This probably saved me bc I’m trying to find a part time job thx so much
Side note if you get tacos at Chipotle you deserve to be on watch list
I’m lucky my current manager is so understanding about the need for money. When applying, I asked for a higher hourly rate than I thought he’d offer, because he’d try matching in the middle to keep me. He asked me why I requested a higher pay than what my experience shows, and I told him that exact thing. He said, and I quote “that’s actually really smart, welcome to the team.”
This is actually good
Simply genius!
i loved how she said MOneY while smiling
That's a neat little tip.
that "what 😃" 😭😭😭
At my Job interview I said that I am the most honest person you ever met. I am here for money, If I was a Millionaire I wouldn’t apply. I still got the Job
Great point!
still think it's a stupid thing to ask... it's obvious it's for the money!
Youre confusing why did you apply for this job with why do you need a job
They aren't the same question
Finally, a short about financial advice where you don't annoy the person you're talking to
When I was asked this question, my answer was, "I don't, particularly, but I need a job, and I have skills I think you can use."
They hired me.
I bet the reason you cited this is that at least on a subconscious level you know stuff like this is rarely the case.
@Abdul-Kabir Alegbe If your objective in a job interview is to get hired above all else, you're doing it wrong. My objective in a job interview is to get hired somewhere I might enjoy working. If being myself in an interview stops me from getting the job, that employer isn't someone for whom I want to work.
@@SylviusTheMad We're on the same page when it comes to job satisfaction. I was just making a point that job satisfaction is the exception rather than the rule. In other words, most people are not where they want to be.
Guy once asked me why i was looking for work...I actually answered; "i got bills to pay" once. Guy asked me if that's the only reason i wanted to work there. I told him that's not the same thing. I wanted to work there because i had heard they payed more then other companies. So he asked is it all about the money then?
I answered it's the only reason most people work in the first place. If you got the same amount of money if you did or didn't show up. Would you still come in every day?, or do you have plenty of other things to do you would rather spend your time on? He looked at me, shrugged and said fair enough. Then asked me why he should hire me. Told him I'm good at my job. Always on time. And get things done. My resume will speak for itself.
Hired me on the spot.
the “the chipotle employees always seemed pretty happy” is making me lose it 😂😂 chipotle is a miserable experience you’re understaffed underpaid and over worked
"Why do you want to work here?"
"I'm very passionate about not starving to death."
i like how she somehow finds out Erin’s name by the end of it. 🤣
Erin subtly getting us to give her free tacos
I said money to pay bills and got hire so worked out for me 😂😂
Woah.. thats an actually really good tip? From a youtube short?? Dang. I'm impressed. I'll keep this in mind if I need it but hopefully not lol
